A Petersen brick is a graph whose underlying simple graph is isomorphic to the Petersen graph. For a matching covered graph G, b(G) denotes the number of bricks of G, and p(G) denotes the number of Petersen bricks of G. An ear decomposition of G is optimal if, among all ear decompositions of G, it u

In 1987, Lova ´sz conjectured that every brick G different from K 4 , C ¯6, and the Petersen graph has an edge e such that G -e is a matching covered graph with exactly one brick. Lova ´sz and Vempala announced a proof of this conjecture in 1994. Their paper is under preparation. In this paper and i
## Abstract We give a 4‐chromatic planar graph, which admits a vertex partition into three parts such that the union of every two of them induces a forest. This solves a problem posed by Böhme. Also, by constructing an infinite sequence of graphs, we show that the cover degeneracy can be arbitraril
## Abstract We investigate the conjecture that a graph is perfect if it admits a two‐edge‐coloring such that two edges receive different colors if they are the nonincident edges of a __P__~4~ (chordless path with four vertices). Partial results on this conjecture are given in this paper. © 1995 Joh
